California Poppy Pin - Michael Michaud Design

The California Poppy pin in hand patinated bronze with gold plated petals and yellow fresh water pearls. The official state flower of California, the California poppy makes a delicate, original piece of jewelry.

The California Poppy is a perennial and annual plant, native to the United States. It is the official state flower of California and the 6th of April is designated as California Poppy Day. California Poppy leaves were used medicinally by Native Americans and the pollen was used cosmetically. The seeds are used in cooking. Its golden blooms are a fitting symbol for the golden state.

Artist Michael Michaud casts his jewelry from real flora collected in his travels around the world. Michaud finishes each design in bronze, sterling silver, or gold, adding genuine stone and pearl accents to capture the beauty of the natural world in eye-catching, stylish motifs.
